Pricing FAQ

Common
questions.

Is SmartStops free to use?

Yes — SmartStops has a free plan with 2 trips per month, forever. No credit card required. Every new signup starts with a 7-day free trial of full Adventurer access. You get kid-timed breaks, parks, gas, restaurants, and coffee on every trip. Upgrade to Weekender or Adventurer for unlimited trips and premium features like Meltdown Mode and route comparison.

What features does the free plan include?

The free plan includes: automatic playground and park finder along your route, kid-friendly stop timing, gas stations, family-friendly restaurants and coffee shops, and Google Maps integration. After your 7-day free trial, you get 2 trips per month on the free plan — all core features included on every trip.

How is SmartStops different from Google Maps?

Unlike Google Maps which optimizes for speed, SmartStops optimizes for family happiness. It automatically finds playgrounds and parks along your route timed for when kids need breaks, and combines stops with gas stations and restaurants. Google Maps requires manual searching at each stop.

Why is the Adventurer plan the best value?

The Adventurer plan ($39.99/year) is the best value because it includes all features for a full year — unlimited trips, Meltdown Mode, full trip history, route comparison (2 routes), weather forecasts, 2 cities per stop, and adaptive weather alerts. At $3.33/month, it's ideal for families who take multiple road trips per year.
